things got tight as it is with everyone so I parted out the drag car
there is quite a bit of one off parts I built on there
many many hours of blood & sweat, cant remember any tears though :-)
god knows how long it would sit waiting for me to finish it
my wifes volvo poped out of park & took out the front end
when things pick up Ill build something but we need the dough now

the up shot I had everything worth dough sold in one day at least got comittments from the buyers

I was gona get that 2.3 FWD into the low mid 11s

I have a 78 datsun B210 here though :-) maybe I can put a saab engine in that :-)

anyway

I had to get out of flying for a while simply because I couldent afford it & I think I had maybe gotten too obsessed with it
I did start to feel like I had made a few friends here & I just stopped coming on which was maybe rude on my part (sorry)

Im going to start flying again soon & I really want to go to seff

big things in my life now are that ofcourse tuning has slowed to a crawl as well as one of the engine management systems I work with got freewared, this cut my income by about $1000 a month or more.
Im trying like hell to get the word out there in the asheville area that there is a good independant saab/volvo tech here but I never really advertized for repair ...... I had hoped that I could use my brain more then my body (Im 42 & feel like Im 52) but you got to do what you can to get bye

it is scary to be the man of a household & bareley make enough money to get bye

& still have a beautiful & loving family
I do still make payments to the bank on my house :-)
I still eat good food
& if I really take it easy I might even be able to fly planes as I was just tearing up too much stuff before

anyway I dont want to depress you all just wanted to share whats up with me at this point in time
thanks for being here

saabs are unusual cars so when I started drag racing I had to modify some wheels for my car to put the slicks on
Ill be posting times on the car soon :-)

I like to fly wings with fair power :-)
I taught myself to fly at a park with allot of trees & poles so Ive managed to wreck allot of nice planes :-( but now I actually like the poles because I weave through them for fun :-)

here is a pic of me listening to my car run on a chasis dyno up in detroit :-)

also a pic of my car on that dyno

I believe the pic of the plane is an RCWorks reaper I built :-) what an awesome plane that is
take care
